?? What does that mean. Why would you take it back? Take what back? What does "built in the 90s" have to do with anything?

Does the horn not work at all? or is it becaue you did not wire it correctly?

From your description, you do not have power to the relay coil. The horn button does not apply power to the relay. It grounds the circuit. Take a look at he original horn: 1 orange wire, 1 black with blue trace wire. Those are the wires that need to go to the the relay terms 85 and 86 to operate the relay. Also check to make sure you are identifying the relay terminals correctly.

The horn works. If I connect the stock wire it works. If I connect the wire going from the (+) battery to the horn and ground the other horn terminal the horn goes off...

I'm pretty sure I wired it correctly. Although I wired 85 to ground...
